NEW COLLECTION FROM MELODY EHSANI: SPRING 2012 – PART 2

In case Spring 2012 Part 1 wasn’t enough to put a jones in your bones right through until next Winter, April 15th Melody Ehsani will release the second part of her Spring Collection and these pieces are on another level. For me it’s all about the huge neon lion chain – anyone that knows me knows I’m all about a lion and I love that it’s on a contrast black chain. I think the pineapple necklace and earring set are the perfect way to add some Summer lovin’ to your accessories drawer. The gold chain link bracelet is a must, and the fist full of LOVE rings just make it better and better. Check out some of my favorite images from the lookbook below:

 

Check out the rest of the shoot with model Bianca, photos by Mike Quian, hair and make-up by Alana Dawn & Azelle, and styling by Henry Harris on Melody’s Official tumblr here.

What will YOU be buying on the 15th?

CREWNECKS! CREWNECKS! CREWNECKS!

I’mmmmm really feelin’ crewneck sweatshirts lately. While everyone is running around worried about getting colored skinny jeans, don’t forget you also NEED a slew of a crewneck sweatshirts to go with. Most of them are a welcomed 80′s throwbacks like the Vision Street Wear by Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony or the Crunk City option from Karamloop.

Others like the Jeremy Scott Jukebox Trefoil Logo for adidas Originals, the Coca Cola stripe, and the faded Mickey Mouse crewneck offer a subtle nod to the 80′s (or the 50′s in the case of JS) with a focus on the logo. Either way, they’re here and ready to be worn.

JOYRICH THEW WASHED DENIM FROM KARAMLOOP

In my opinion, you can never go wrong with high-bleached denim and you can also never have too many pair(s) of jeans. I’m mildly obsessed with these drop crotch indigo high-bleached denim joints from Joyrich. Are you familiar with “rush shipping”? The best part is… you can talk your lady friends into copping a pair for themselves too… and then you can MATCH. I love nothing more than matching. (NOTE: These bitches run SMALL. I ordered two sizes up.)

Check the rest of the Summer Joyrich line including pieces from the GIZA collaboration here.

WEEKLY WANT: TK SIGNATURE SUPRAS IN MAGENTA SATIN TUF

 

This TK Society model is one of my favorite sneaker models of all time. I like my high-tops to the sky and this new Magenta Satin TUF colorway from Supra that was just released is big time. I’m a fan of Satin TUF because they wear really well and I’m all about the addition of the neon yellow because a little neon never hurt nobody.

Check availability for this little gem at Factory413 and/or Karmaloop but act fast because they won’t be around long.

THE SPRING 2012 KARMALOOP LOOKBOOK IS ALL ABOUT VA$HTIE…

…and the pairing of Melody and Joyrich, of course.

Karmaloop’s lookbooks have been no joke lately and this season they really stepped it up. I will admit… the men’s looks are pale in comparison to the glam that Downtown’s Sweetheart, Va$htie is serving up for the ladies. Below are a couple of my favorite looks. Click here to peep the rest!

And click here for the latest from Joyrich and Melody Ehsani on Karmaloop.

WALTER VAN BEIRENDONCK X LINDA FARROW PROJECTS

 

I copped these little ditties from famed eyewear designer Linda Farrow while I was in LA over the weekend… and I can’t get enough. They’re Walter Van Beirendonck X Linda Farrow Projects and they’re from her Summer 2010c collection, however I’m resurrecting them for MY Summer 2012 wardrobe. With the interchangeable lenses, the possibilities are endless and sure to take your summer look to the next level. My favorite has to be the permanent angry eye… or is it the spikes? I can’t really decide actually. Anyway…

Check out Miss Farrow’s collaborations with my boy Jeremy Scott here and secure your credit card in a block of ice in the freezer before checking out the rest of her collection here.

JOYRICH x GIZA’S 2ND COLLABORATION LAUNCHES AND IT’S EVERYTHING.

Last week, Joyrich launched their (2nd and) most recent collaboration with Japanese Artist/DJ Mademoiselle Yulia‘s line Giza and as expected – it’s GOOD.

I’m loving the classic vintage cuts and silhouettes set off by the bright and fun, jewel tone patterns that Joyrich is most known for. We’ve been waiting a while to see this collabo in full effect as Joyrich was tweeting pictures from the set months ago. If you’re not in LA and can’t make it by the store on Melrose, check out Karmaloop.com RIGHT NOW as the pieces are sure to go fast.

I’ll have one of everything. Check please!

Check out the rest of the pics after the jump. Continue reading →

LEOPARD PRINT LIFESTYLE: THE WARREN JACKET FROM WESC

Leopard Print Lifestyle: It’s no secret that I’m about Love, Life, and the Pursuit of Leopard print and I’m absolutely obsessed with The Warren Sweatshirt from WeSC that just jumped off on Karmaloop. Although my favorite is pictured above in Camel Leopard, there are two other color ways that you can’t sleep on either. Check the rest of the WeSC collection here to add a little spice to your life.

NEW GENT LACQUERED WATCHES FROM SWATCH

Swatch is making a hard comeback and I ain’t even mad. These have been out for a couple weeks now but I still can’t sleep on them. With successful collaborations left and right coming from Swatch, I feel like they’ve really started to step their game up. The New Gent Lacquered collection is one of the newbies and it’s exciting to see the revival.

The series of ten candy colored watches would look dope alone or stacked and could easily fit the wrist of a dude or a chick. The face is my favorite part and this Spring I’m all about yellow. It’s a little bit of early 90′s – kind of reminds me of the clear phone with the colored wires.

Check out some more pics after the jump or at Swatch.com Continue reading →

I FOUND LOVE IN ITALY…

…In a pair of retro black and crystal plastic Gucci shades. I made the mistake of trying them on which wasn’t smart and I’m pretty certain I can attribute my restlessness last night to these bad boys. The mixture of solid color with clear and gradient tinted lenses and gold accents… it’s just the right amount of fresh to set a brotha off. I’m getting hot just thinking about it again.

Check the rest of the colorways at Gucci.com.
